Megami no Café Terrace - Episode 24 [END] - Drunk Shiragiku Boobs on Hayato

The bane of Shiragiku’s existence, alcoholic wet wipes, appeared one last time for the season finale.

Oho. Poor Ririka. She and the Chiyoda Diner crew were up all night assembling traditional New Year’s Day meals. That cursed purple aura usually signals foul ingredients in the dish. Moemi is a slave driver! The calendar date of 1/1/2022 confirms that Goddess Café Terrace happened three years ago. Hayato is grateful for the efforts from his other restaurant.

Uh oh! Riho brought sake. Can Shiragiku behave herself? Ooh. Akane can drink now. How would you describe her tipsy alter ego? I see. The Chiyoda Diner mirrors the Familia Café Terrace for staffing issues. Like Hayato at the start of Goddess Café Terrace, Moemi also has a one-year limit on how long she can be the chef for the restaurant. Hayato’s deadline arrives in three months. Moemi claims her harsh methods are for teaching her mates to be competent enough to handle the restaurant without her. Only Valentina survived with a cheerful attitude. Oops. More slave driving ahead!

Let’s get back to dangerous drinking. The girls don’t want to change out of their kimonos yet because they took a long time to dress. But undressing could be fun, according to Riho. Watch out. Shiragiku’s reactions to alcohol do not match her past behavior in Goddess Café Terrace. Anything could happen! Oh no. Ami scares Akane into thinking Sachiko Kitty is looking at an invisible ceiling cat. That’ll fix things: cover the cat’s eyes! Ah. Scaredy-cat Akane strikes first in the new year for harem points. Drunk Shiragiku won’t let that last long. It’s time for her to do “dirty things.” No one is less surprised than Hayato and Ouka.

Here we go. Shiragiku reverts to drunken form. But Akane is a crybaby drunk! Enough flirty drunk talk from the others. Riho jumps in! There goes the bottle of sake. Ah. Riho is a manipulative, flirty drunk. Ha! Hayato called her bluff! Riho needs much more hooch for inebriation. Damn her inherited liver from her lush mother! We’ll wait for another season to see Riho get drunk. Can Ami get dizzy enough to appear drunk? Tornado Spin!

Hayato’s sexy dreams continue into the new year. Sachiko Kitty can be his constant and sane companion. Traditional New Year’s holiday games like karuta keep the girls busy. Ami’s karate gi won’t help her, though, especially after she chops Ouka in the forehead! Ouka acts in pure oldest-sister mode! It’s the return of Mad Dog Ouka! Goddess Café Terrace transitions to the future. It has material foreshadowing Ouka’s dramatic exit, but it anticlimactically focuses on Ami first. The local university (where Riho and Shiragiku attend) already accepted Ami into its karate program through a recommendation! Aw. Hayato thought his big announcement of staying on to run the café and dropping out of college would be more shocking, stunning, and surprising. I like how Sachiko Kitty also attends these family meetings.

Oh, finally. Ouka announced her exit from the Familia after the quickie foreshadowing Goddess Café Terrace teased last week. She’s moving to France to work for a fashion designer job! Sadness. But Hayato, unsurprisingly, keeps his feelings under the surface. The news hits Hekiru the hardest because her harem horserace narrative went up in flames. Harem heroines have a graduation system!

Even Ami’s eighteenth birthday can’t put a smile on her face. I appreciate the soberly naked discussions in the bath. Ah. Akane explains how Ouka’s departure preoccupies Hayato’s thoughts because he has never had the opportunity to say goodbye to a family member before they left him.

Ouka bookends her presence in Goddess Café Terrace by cooking the only thing she knows how — Grandma Sachiko’s rice pilaf. Flashback to Ouka flashing him! Ouka feels relief that Hayato won’t turn the Familia Café Terrace into a parking lot. That’s how far things have progressed in less than a year. Oops. Gorilla Ami’s boob-squeezing offer crashed into Hayato’s nostalgia.

Goodbye Ouka! The market neighbors saw her off while her immediate family said their goodbyes the day before. Ha! Ouka does not need Mao’s “gift.” How could she bring that through the security checkpoints? Hayato acts like a sad dad who sees his daughter off to college. Each goddess gets to say a unique farewell at the airport. Riho and Akane ask her to design costumes after they hit it big. Shiragiku casually states she’ll run the Familia restaurant as Hayato’s wife, but Riho and Akane have objections. I like that running joke in Goddess Café Terrace. Aw. Ami couldn’t fulfill her promise to see Ouka off with a smile. Yeah! Ouka got one last scene humiliating Hayato! Repaid with a kiss! Not fair! Okay. It’s fair enough because she hadn’t used it up yet. Now, that’s a dramatic exit! Not that kind, Ami.

Epilogue time. Hayato has time enough to mope about missing Ouka. Shiragiku still needs to avoid wet disinfectant wipes. Boo! Don’t hide Hayato’s abs behind a blur effect, Goddess Café Terrace. At least Shiragiku can warn him before her alcoholic amnesia starts. Riho has cornered the market on roles for murder victims. I can’t believe Akane’s bandmates still allow that ridiculous name, Mussy Mustache Girls. Ack. One last moment of bathos for us. No, Truck-kun did not run over Ami. Only her heartfelt airmail letter reincarnated in another world. Ooh! Ouka’s time in France resembles her ending theme scene from the first season! Come back soon, Ouka! The end.
